Boxers/When to neuter

Question
What is the best age to neuter my 5 month old male boxer to insure he will reach his full size?

Answer
Generally, neutering is done between 6-8 months old. It has nothing to do with the full size of his adulthood.

Call your vet and talk with him/her about their age preference.(it can be performed on younger puppies, but I personally disagree with that)...
